Organic Ingredients:

• 2-1/2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed, drained, and hulled
• 1/3 cup organic cane sugar  or Agave to taste (I actually like it without sugar. It depends on the sweetness of the berries.)
• 2-1/2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into chunks
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Juice of 1 orange
• Sprigs of fresh mint
• Soy or Rice Whipped Topping (optional)

This recipe makes 4 servings.

Place the clean and hulled strawberries into a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, (reserve four large strawberries to be sliced later for garnish.) Set aside for 15 min. Transfer the sliced berries and their juice to the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender like a Vita-Mix. Add the watermelon, lemon juice, and orange juice. Process into a smooth purée. Transfer the purée to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, until well chilled.

When you are ready to serve the “soup”, evenly divide this ruby red nectar among 4 bowls; clear glass bowls make a lovely presentation. Add a quick squirt of either Soy or Rice Whipped Topping if you like. Take the remaining strawberries and place thin slices as a garnish, along a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.

Stay cool and enjoy the rest of your summer!
With love,
